Day for Traveling (4-7)


Bismihi Ta’ala

Ahaadeeth and Sunnats of Traveling






The Most Appropriate day for Traveling


4.)  Nabi (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi waSallam) loved commencing journeys on Thursdays.
[Sayyidina Ka`b Ibn Maalik (RA)  - Bukhari Shareef]


5.)     A narration mentions that barakah has been kept on Thursday mornings for this Ummah.
[Fathul Bari]


6.)   When departing for the Farewell pilgrimage, Nabi (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi waSallam) departed on a Thursday as well.

- Hence, if it is possible, one should arrange that one’s journey commences on a Thursday as this would be closest to the Sunnah. If this is not possible, any other day will be fine.


7.)   The historic  journey to Madina Tayyibah commenced on a Monday, as this was determined by Divine revelation.
